Santiago de Cuba

An amazing day exploring the places and people of Santiago de Cuba. We had a police escort for the entire day to make sure we could get through the busy city … an indication of the importance of tourism in the country. Highlights included El Morro (a favorite wedding photo site), San Juan Hill (now an amusement park!), Jose Marti’s gravesite (we saw some amazing drill from an honor guard very ably commanded by a woman) and the bustling commercial district.

Our Travels

Traveling together is our favorite pastime. We love exploring new places, witnessing history in action, and learning about people and their cultures. We have been very fortunate to travel, together, to six continents, more than 100 countries, all 50 American states, all 10 Canadian provinces, dozens of world capitals and many amazing national parks. This blog is a series of short stories about some of our favorite adventures.
